2008, Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Inclusion of a method for safe disposal of clinical waste and sharps bins is important, as well as the completion of monitoring and infusion logs. Patients are required to complete infusion logs recording details of infusions and batch numbers of the immunoglobulin used in the case of need for urgent look-back, as followed the outbreak of hepatitis C in 1994.61 In some countries these logs are completed on Web-based systems, but paper records are equally satisfactory.
Chapter 2 Cutting the Gordian Knot-Development and Biological Relevance of Hepatitis C Virus Cell Culture Systems
2008, Advances in Virus ResearchCitation Excerpt :Most probably all preparations contained HCV viruses. However, apparently unscreened preparations additionally contained anti-HCV antibodies, which neutralized the coadministered HCV viruses and thus protected patients against infection (Bresee et al., 1996; From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1994; Healey et al., 1996). Currently, HCV cell culture systems are restricted to one cell type, the human hepatoma cell line Huh7 and derived cell lines.

2007, Journal of Hospital InfectionCitation Excerpt :Of those, 133, descriptions had been published before 1990. The remaining 128 articles were included in this evaluation.7–134 One hundred and one of those 128 articles (79%) were included in the outbreak database.
